Proust Survey

Got the idea from a blogger who got the idea from a different blogger, who got the idea from a dead French writer named Marcel Proust. Here are my answers to the survey:

What is your greatest fear?
To not be worth loving. Or to die before I've accomplished anything worthwhile. I think they tie.

Which living person do you most admire?
I can't think of a specific person. But I greatly admire people that are strong (but not destructive), self-sufficient, hard-working, determined, passionate, loving, friendly, loyal, willing to do anything to defend someone they love or what they believe in, and willing to accept people the way they are.

Who is your favorite fictional hero?
Mrs. Weasley.

Who are your real-life heros?
I'm not sure. People that fit the description of people I greatly admire. And really good mothers. But I suppose really good mothers would fit that description. Oh well.

What is your most treasured possession?
Right now, I'd say memory.

When and where were you happiest?
I don't know. But this one time- this will sound cheesy- this one time when I was part of a band, there was this song I really liked that we had to play. And you could tell that everyone else liked it too, because we all got into it and wanted it to sound perfect. The way we played, it made me feel like we were all connected. Like, if I played it by myself the song wouldn't sound anywhere near as good, but if it was played without me the song would be missing something. All of us together made it great. It made me feel really good.

What is your most obvious charateristic?
opinionated.

What is the trait you most deplore in others?
selfishness. the complete disregard for anyone else. although arrogance runs a close second (especially if the person has nothing to be arrogant about).

What do you most dislike about your appearance?
Nose.

What do you consider your greatest acheivement?
I don't know. Yelling at Barrett, I suppose.

Where would you like to live?
Europe. Or San Francisco. Or Seattle. Or Japan. Or Africa. Or Turkey. I have no idea.

What is it you most dislike?
bigotry. or unfairness.

What do you value most in your friends?
Sense of humour. Loyalty. Willingness to listen to my problems, help me when I need it, etc.

What is your motto?
I don't know. "Fight for what you believe in", I 'spose.

Who has been the greatest influence on you?
My dad. Even though we have very different beliefs, I'm still a lot like him, and he's helped shape me into who I am.
